Chapter 235 Questioning (3 words)
"Is this really Kosel?!" One of the men in white robes looked visibly shaken, as if he hadn't expected his former colleague to suddenly attack him so brutally, and even thought that someone was impersonating a colleague.
"Without a doubt, he is Kosl, your colleague himself."
Chen Yuan shook his head slightly, looked at Kosel who was under mind control, and said calmly, "Tell me your true identity and your assassination plan."
"Yes, sir." Kosel's gaze was blank, but his tone was very calm: "My name is Kosel, a member of the Black Sand Clan. My official identity is an inspector of the Wulong Starfield, but my true identity is an assassin planted by the Zerg, and my infiltration sequence number is 6."
"My assassination plan this time is to first destroy the surveillance equipment, then kill two colleagues so that they cannot send an alarm to the security system, thus buying me dozens of seconds for the assassination."
"Then, I will release the immortal deity lurking within my inner world to attempt to enslave the target. If that fails, I will kill it immediately."
He then immediately committed suicide to prevent the information from being leaked.
After hearing Kosel's account, the two men in white robes were horrified, never expecting that they had actually brushed past death.
What's even more alarming is that, according to Kosel's description, there is an immortal god lurking within the other party's inner world. This means that once this immortal god leaves the inner world, they will all die.
Well, that's just what the white-robed man thought. In Chen Yuan's eyes, an ordinary immortal posed no threat to him whatsoever.
"Chen Yuan, no, my lord, what if Kosel suddenly wakes up?" A man in white robes asked Chen Yuan cautiously. In their eyes, this colleague was a ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment.
"Don't worry, I have isolated his soul consciousness. As long as I don't actively undo the secret technique, he will be stuck in this state for the rest of his life."
Chen Yuan smiled easily, then said, "Now that it's confirmed that the other party is an alien assassin, you should report the news quickly."
"Oh right!" The two men in white robes realized what was happening and quickly alerted the system.
A short while later, Prince Long's communicator called: "Your Highness Chen Yuan, I heard you encountered assassins from a foreign race?"
Prince Long's expression was somewhat grim, and he was also a little worried. After all, Chen Yuan had entered the palace through his connections, and now that something had gone wrong, he could not escape blame.
"Yes, he's an assassin controlled by the Zerg." Chen Yuan nodded and smiled slightly. "Fortunately, he's not very strong, and I've already taken him under control."
"Oh? Your Highness has such strength!" King Longjue's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that not only was His Highness unharmed, but he had also captured the assassin alive.
Since no substantial losses were caused, his problem isn't too serious; at least it won't affect his position as the person in charge.
"Your Highness, please wait here. This matter is of great importance. I have already notified the other officials to go to the scene together."
King Longjue breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Once the authenticity of this matter is confirmed, we will submit a joint report for His Holiness to make a decision."
"No problem." Chen Yuan nodded. "Please hurry up, I haven't finished selecting the Zerg corpses yet."
"Your Highness, rest assured, it won't take long." King Longjue grinned. "I've arrived."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yuan noticed a spaceship suddenly appear tens of thousands of kilometers away, and it flew close by a few seconds later.
After the hatch opened, King Longjue and Lishan stepped out. The two men in white robes immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, King Longjue."
"Yes, get up."
Facing his subordinates, King Longjue spoke with an air of authority, saying calmly, "You two, tell me everything that just happened, down to the smallest detail."
"Yes, ma'am." The two men recounted the events that had just occurred in a respectful tone.
After listening to their accounts, King Longjue nodded, then looked at Chen Yuan with a smile and said, "Your Highness, their testimonies match the damaged surveillance footage nearby. However, I heard that Your Highness has already apprehended the assassin they mentioned. May I have the honor of seeing him?"
"Okay." Chen Yuan nodded, then released Kosel from the world ring and had him repeat what he had just said.
After listening to Kosir's words, King Longjue gave Chen Yuan a deep look. With his discerning eye, he could naturally see that the assassin had been controlled by Chen Yuan, and that this control was somewhat similar to enslavement.
The problem is, if this Kosl is an assassin, he should be enslaved by a foreign race.
As everyone knows, a life that has already been enslaved will not be affected by a second enslavement, so King Longjue could not understand how this prince managed to bypass the effects of the enslavement secrets and control this alien assassin.
Shaking his head, King Longjue suppressed his doubts and did not delve into the matter. After all, this prince was a disciple of the Lord of the Universe, and perhaps he possessed some special secret techniques, but that was beyond his ability to inquire about.
"Your Highness, rest assured, with all the witnesses and evidence in place, there are basically no doubts about this case. Once my colleagues arrive, we will simply go through the motions."
King Longjue smiled and said, "Moreover, Your Highness's assassination attempt in the Wulong Starfield was due to our mismanagement. I will discuss it with my colleagues."
"Provide His Highness with appropriate compensation."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "If all goes well, the 50,000 Zerg corpses in Your Highness's possession will all be yours."
"Oh?" Upon hearing about the compensation, Chen Yuan became slightly interested.
The 5 Zerg corpses, after deducting the ones he had already purchased, amounted to 1.7 units, worth 1.7 million Chaos Units.
This compensation is quite generous, considering that he was not harmed in this incident.
Of course, Chen Yuan also knew that these resources were actually the property of the clan, which was why the Long King was so generous, since he didn't have to pay for them himself.
The group waited in place for a while. A few minutes later, four spaceships appeared one after another from the void tens of thousands of kilometers away and then flew towards them.
As the hatches of the four spaceships opened, a large number of figures flew out.
After sensing them, Chen Yuan discovered that most of them were immortal gods, while the four leading figures were all king-level experts, who should be the people in charge of this Mother Cave Star Region.
"Your Highness, please come with me," King Longjue transmitted his voice, then led Chen Yuan and the others to greet him.
At the same time, the four leaders also approached, while their subordinates remained in place.
"Your Highness, let me introduce you."
After everyone had gathered, King Longjue smiled and introduced the identities of the other four people in charge to Chen Yuan. They were:
The King of Slamming from the First Bank of the Universe, the King of Hidden Spear from the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, the King of Rain Gift from the Cosmic Galaxy Bank, and—the King of Candlelight from the Giant Axe Arena!
Following the introduction by the Prince of Long, Chen Yuan smiled and nodded in response. Given his status and position, he did not need to bow respectfully to some of the princes.
The other three princes were aware of his identity, so they all returned the greeting with friendly expressions.
Only the Demon Candle King frowned slightly, feeling somewhat uncomfortable that Chen Yuan, a mere domain lord, neither bowed nor showed respect to him.
After exchanging pleasantries, the group got down to business. King Longjue explained what had happened, followed by supplementary information from Chen Yuan. Finally, the two men in white robes gave their testimonies, and the assassin gave his own account.
"In conclusion, I believe that the assassination attempt on His Highness Chen Yuan is true. The assassin was an employee of the Star Region. The Star Region's inadequate oversight nearly put His Highness in danger, and compensation should be provided."
After summarizing, King Longjue smiled and said, "Your Highness has purchased 33,000 units of Zerg corpses from our Wulong Star Region, making you a valued customer. To make amends, I suggest compensating you with an additional 17,000 units of Zerg corpses, bringing the total to 50,000 for Your Highness. What do you all think?"
"I agree."
"Agreed."
"Can."
As soon as King Longjue finished speaking, the other three officials immediately agreed, since this matter involved a foreign race and the consequences could be significant.
They didn't want to escalate the situation, so they agreed to King Longjue's proposal, thinking it would be a peaceful resolution since they wouldn't have to pay anything.
But soon a discordant voice came from among the crowd: "I object."
The group looked over and saw that the Demon Candle King had a calm expression and said indifferently, "I think there are still some doubts about this matter."
"Oh? What has the Demon King discovered?"
King Longjue appeared puzzled, but secretly transmitted his voice, saying, "King Mozhu, this kind of thing is not good for us. Besides, this Prince Chen Yuan is of high status, and we shouldn't offend him. It would be better to make a big deal out of it and let him leave quickly."
"Try to downplay the issue?"
The Demon Candle King gave Longjue King a wary look and, without any hesitation, revealed the message transmitted in the voice chat.
King Longjue's expression changed slightly, but given the other party's status and power, he could only swallow his anger and force a smile, saying, "Could it be that King Demon Candle has found some evidence?"
"Isn't the evidence obvious?" The Demon Candle King looked at Chen Yuan and said calmly, "What alien assassin? It's all just your side of the story from beginning to end."
"Lord Candle, what do you mean by my only side of the story?"
Chen Yuan frowned slightly: "The evidence is overwhelming, both in person and in person. Even the assassin himself confessed. The evidence is conclusive."
"That's the problem." The Demon Candle King's expression remained unchanged: "Judging from this assassin's behavior, he is clearly influenced by your soul enslavement, and as everyone knows, a enslaved life cannot be enslaved a second time."
"And since he was an assassin from another race, he must have been enslaved by their souls."
At this point, the Demon Candle King looked at Chen Yuan and questioned, "Tell me, how exactly did you bypass this person's original enslavement technique and enslave him a second time?"
"Or is this person simply your soul servant, and the so-called assassination was just a staged event?" The Demon Candle King's gaze swept over the two white-robed leaders, and he said calmly, "After all, they might also have been deceived by you and mistakenly believed that you had really been assassinated."
"How do you explain this?"
